A recent study revealed the possibility of early detection of septic disease (also known as blood rotting) that is threatened with life through one of the proteins of the immune system that plays a role in the inflammatory response. Interest is a serious medical condition caused by an excessive response from the immune system of infection.
The study was conducted by researchers at the Children’s Health Hospital in Temple Street and the Routanda Hospital in Ireland, and was presented at the European Association for Clinical Puzzles and Global Infectious Diseases, which was held on April 11, and was written by the Yurrick Alert website.
The current diagnosis of the strains depends on traditional vital indicators such as interactive protein or pro -brocalcetonin, but these indicators are delayed in response, and given that the sepsis develops rapidly, there is an urgent need for a vital indicator that provides faster and more accurate diagnosis, as it can contribute to saving lives by enabling medical intervention in time.
The study, which included 252 patients, suffered from intermediate intercourse with different categories (including children, pregnant women and newborns), where they collected successive samples during the treatment period, and they were classified according to the type of infection and the degree of inflammatory response.
Protein output
Intercin-6 protein showed a superior performance compared to traditional vital indicators in distinguishing between bacterial and non-bacterial infections, as it has proven effective in classifying septic intensity, making it a decisive tool to direct the appropriate treatment in time.
Dr. Sean Willian, the main author of the study, explained that “Intercin-6 protein is characterized by the speed of its response compared to other indicators, as it is excreted within an hour to two hours of infection with the strains, and its peak is after 6 hours, and it decreases after 24 hours, while traditional vital indicators such as interactive protein and pro-porcalcetonin reach the peak after 48 and 24 hours respectively, The quick response makes it an ideal candidate for early sepsis. “
